Payment bypass via zero ticket quantity
Published Aug 7, 2026 · Updated Aug 7, 2026
Payment bypass in ThimPress WP Events Manager before 2.2.5 allows remote authenticated users to book paid events without payment. The event_auth_register AJAX action accepts an attacker-controlled qty value of zero, calculates a zero price, and follows the free-event completion path. Subscriber access, a published paid event, and valid registration nonces are required; exploitation creates a completed booking without processing payment.
